dear the internet,
it's 10.5 months after giving a big fat middle finger to nearly everything stable in my life. as one would imagine it's been an interesting journey to this point, with some cool/fun times scattered among the prolonged bouts of massive life-threatening despair. sure, I had a couple odd/shitty gigs and managed to barely scrape by, but I finally start a new real job on monday, and I'm stoked.
counting my lucky stars and I owe quite a few generous friends beers and favors for a lifetime. it's scary out there folks.
